| Obverse description | The obverse carries the year 1788 (Maryland's year of statehood) in the upper corners within guilloche borders, with a central vignette of four state symbols: the Baltimore Oriole (state bird), Brown-Eyed Susan (state flower), White Oak (state tree), and Diamondback Terrapin (state reptile). At right, a circular inset reproduces the Maryland 2000 Washington quarter design. The lower banner reads "THE OLD LINE STATE". |

Maryland's inclusion in the 50 State Quarters Program prompted the Federal Reserve to issue a Maryland-themed $1 note series beginning in 2003, but this entry almost certainly refers to something else — likely a novelty or souvenir item rather than a federally issued banknote. The United States issued no state-specific paper currency in 2003; the Federal Reserve Note series was uniform nationally, with district letters as the only regional identifier.
If this is a Federal Reserve Note assigned to the Richmond or Philadelphia district and cataloged under "Maryland" by error, the designation should be reviewed against the serial prefix.
